Surprised?
Does it surprise you:
That right wing governments
are turning up all over the place?
Hungary-Poland-Italy-Brazil-Turkey-Myanmar, etc. etc. And of course, in the United States – or at
least on the way.
That homelessness is
pervasive in my lovely San Francisco?
For decades local politicians have toured the Tenderloin, witnessed the
drugs, debris and despair, wrung their hands at it all and failed to come up
with viable solutions.
That people around the world
don’t trust their governments and institutions?
Why should they trust when corrupt and self-serving “leaders” are
running things? When income inequality
is on the rise? When they work hard and
don’t see the fruits of their labors?
That church attendance is
down? That schools are underfunded and
overcrowded? That an average family can’t
afford to buy a house? That there is an
opioid epidemic? That climate change
goals are not being met? Oops – stop seeing
the glass is half empty you say? Sorry –
that’s just the way it looks from here.
Is there hope for the
future? Sure, hope is always possible. Trouble is, as the old proverb says: If we don’t change our direction we’re likely
to get where we’re headed!
Have a nice day.
